Everything you need to know about the SASSA status check for the R350 covid relief grant, including payment dates and how to collect it. Also referred to as the SRD status check. The South African Social Security Agency publishes the SRD R350 Social Relief Grant Payment Schedule every month (SASSA). This is the organization in charge of distributing and providing government assistance for South Africa’s special Covid-19 Social Relief benefit. They are also in charge of distributing financial aid to recipients of disability grants and child support grant recipients. The African government established these various types of grants to assist disadvantaged or unemployed citizens

Why SASSA Status Check Pending?

Unfortunately, when many South Africans check their sassa status online application, it only says “pending,” and they are unable to receive the R350. The SASSA recently issued the following message on:

SASSA will clear outstanding payments from the previous cycle as soon as the bank details are confirmed.

The payments will not be made all at once, but rather month by month.

A payment may be made more than once in a month, but no one will receive double payments in amount.

SASSA will make these multiple payments in one month until the backlog is cleared, at which point monthly payments will resume.

Why is my Sassa R350 approved but I’m not getting paid?

There could be several reasons why your SASSA status check was approved but you have yet to be paid. Individuals who have been approved but have not yet been paid are likely to have outstanding bank accounts, bank accounts that have failed bank account verification, or bank accounts that are awaiting verification from either the National Treasury or those who chose Cash send payments. The application process may have gone smoothly, and you may have met the criteria for financial assistance. However, there have been ongoing issues with some banks and bank accounts that are still being worked on and improved.

What caused my SASSA Status Check to fail?

The sassa status check may be declined or failed for a variety of reasons, including:

• Although an additional source of income may have been identified, taking you above the minimum threshold, they have been unable to verify your unemployment grant status.
• You may already be registered for the NSFAS.
• Already registered with UIF
• It’s possible that the identity verification check failed

Reconsideration of Sassa Status Check

This could be due to changes that have occurred since the application. There have recently been announcements of delays in processing reconsideration requests due to longer communication times with banks and financial institutions. Remember that in order to qualify for the covid-19 grant, African citizens must not be receiving any other government covid-19 response assistance.
